Nintendo's Peak Years are: NES and GB era and Wii and DS era.
SNES is is a lot of good too.
N64 is only good for playing Ocarina of Time and games from Rare. (and a few more pearls).
GameCube is a disaster. And the Wii U is an even bigger disaster.

Objectively speaking I don't think you can find a 4/5 year stretch that beats 94-98. 

94-98: Donkey Kong Country 1/2, Earthbound, Super Metroid, Yoshi's Island, Killer Instinct, Super Punch-Out!, Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64, Mario Kart 64, Blast Corps, GoldenEye, Star Fox 64, 1080, F-Zero X, Banjo-Kazooie, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, Diddy Kong Racing, Pokemon, Zelda: Ocarina of Time. 

1988-1992: Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA), Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Adventure, Super Mario World, Zelda II, Zelda: Link to the Past, Tetris, Super Mario Land, Super Mario Kart, F-Zero, Pilotwings. 

1999-2003: Super Smash Bros./Melee, Pikmin, Pokemon Stadium, Metroid Prime, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Mario Sunshine, Zelda: Wind Waker, Zelda: Majora's Mask, Luigi's Mansion, F-Zero GX

2004-2008: Nintendogs, Brain Training, Wii Sports, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros., Smash Brawl, Zelda: Twilight Princess. 

What is your criteria for qualifying a game being superior to the other?
